7 perceptual colormaps with rainbow-like colors and 1 with heat colors
| Watch this File
PMKMP Returns perceptually balanced colormaps PMKMP(N,SCHEME) returns an Nx3 colormap. usage: map=pmkmp(n,scheme); %% Example1: 128-color rainbow with cubic-law luminance (default) load mandrill; imagesc(X); colormap(pmkmp(128)); colorbar; %% Example2: 128-color palette for azimuthal data a=0:8:360; b = repmat(a,[46 1]); imagesc(b); colormap(pmkmp(128,'IsoAZ')); colorbar; JUSTIFICATION: rainbow, or spectrum color schemes are considered a poor choice for scientific data display by many in the scientific community (see for example reference 1 and 2 in the help) in that they introduce artefacts that mislead the viewer. "The rainbow color map appears as if it is separated into bands of almost constant hue, with sharp transitions between hues. Viewers perceive these sharp transitions as sharp transitions in the data, even when this is not the casein how regularly spaced (interval) data are displayed (quoted from reference 1). This submission is intended to share the results of my efforts to create more perceptually balanced color maps. Please see output arguments section for descriptions.

HI MArtin. Thanks for the positive feedback. As for the error message, you are the first person to report it for pmkmp. Perhaps the 2007 release did not have these functions? It looks like others have encountered the problem and reported it elsewhere: http://www.nitrc.org/forum/forum.php?thread_id=3703&forum_id=3259
Very nice colormap. Thank you for the detailed info and references. When trying to use the code in matlab 2007 (Windows 7),I received the following error msg: "Undefined function or method 'narginchk' for input arguments of type 'double'.
Error in ==> pmkmp at 332 narginchk(0,2)"
It is interesting that I didn't see any of that when running it in matlab 2014b (in ubuntu) though. After commenting the lines corresponding to : "narginchk" and "nargoutchk", the code seemed to work fine.
Hi Timothy, thank you for your feedback. And for the suggestion! I just got started with github and am building some tutorials on this in Python (you can check it at github.com/mycarta), but it did not occurr to me to upload the Matlab code as well. Great idea, I'll get to it as soon as I'm done with the Python tutorials.
Fantastic colormap! Have you though of placing your code and progress on github as well? That way we can fork, patch, or just update our copies very easily. Thank you again.
Hi Jakob, thanks for the positive feedback and for pointing that out. I am working on some additional colormaps so when I add those I will also fix the interp1 commands.
Works fine! An easy to use implementatoin of the color maps explained in the Mycarta blog. One minor issue: running the code I get a compatibility warning ("Warning: INTERP1(...,'CUBIC') will change in a future release. Use INTERP1(...,'PCHIP') instead."). Maybe this should be fixed in the next version.
Zack L-B: thanks, I must have loaded an older file accidentally. I just loaded the intended update (2014).
The current download appears to be the same as the February 2013 release.
John: I did not know you could do this: >> X=(5:-1:-1) X = 5 4 3 2 1 0 -1 >> X1=max(X,0) X1 = 5 4 3 2 1 0 0 Wonderful, thanks for the great suggestion, I'll add that.
Matteo - You could simply catch those spurious negative values from the interpolation using max(x,0) after interp1 has done its work.
John: thanks for the feedback. You are rigth, the function fails when called as cmap = pmkmp(1); The fact in itself that it fails does not worry me too much since these colormaps were intended for data series, so 1 color only would not be meaningful. But it is fair to add an extra check for minimum number of colors, so I added: if n<2 error('n must be >= 2'); end If someone wanted to set the display of their data to only one color, there are other ways, e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/492232/how-do-i-set-a-surf-to-one-color-no-gradient-in-my-matlab-plot Let me know what you think.
Joshua: I added the missing switch statements. THanks again.
Marius: thanks for spotting that. You are rigth, with a call like colormap(pmkmp(128,'edge')) you get a very small BUT negative value (-2.220446049250313e-16) for the Red in the last triplet. I think you are also rigth, it is because of interp1, specifically because I selected cubic as the interpolation method. Since I want to retain that for the other colormaps, I am thinking of creating a separate function for the Edge colormap.
Hi Matteo, It looks like pmkmp fails if the number of colors requested is 1. cmap = pmkmp(1); Otherwise looks nice! John
Very nice idea, never thought about these color perception issues.
There is a small bug in pmkmp.m with my version of MATLAB (188.8.131.524 (R2013a)). When using the edge colormap and n values around 100 (e.g. 128 or 64) I get
>> colormap(pmkmp(128,'edge')) Error using colormap (line 99) Colormap must have values in [0,1].
I think this is due to interp1 returning negative values under these circumstances.
Sebastian, John (and Petros, long overdue) thanks for the positive rating and feedback.
Joshua, thanks for the rating and comments, and also for spotting the error in the code. I just moved back to Canada after a year in Norway and my computer (with Matlab) is on a slow boat, I will re-submit with the corrected code asap.
I just had a long discussion with a colleague a few days ago on "big" anomalies in his plot, which were mainly due to the perception of the chosen colormap (jet).
I really like the "Edge" and "LinearL" colormaps and will must likely start to use them in the future.
Nice job.
Really cool function, never thought about the perceived visual gradients in data due to luminosity mismatch. There was one error in the code where the 'linearl' and 'linlhot' were missing their switch statements. Here is the corrected switch statement on line 295 to access those last two color profiles:
switch lower(scheme) case 'isol' baseMap = IsoL; case 'cubicl' baseMap = CubicL; case 'edge' baseMap = Edge; case 'cubicyf' baseMap = CubicYF; case 'linearl' baseMap = LinearL case 'linlhot' baseMap = LinLhot otherwise error(['Invalid scheme ' scheme]) end

All research to be published here: http://mycarta.wordpress.com/2012/05/30/the-rainbow-is-dead-long-live-the-rainbow-series-outline/
Colin, thank you for your positive comments. I just got back after a trip and saw your post. I will look into improving/clarifying use of examples.m asap. I may wait a bit to implement an updated as I have some add-ons modifications I am working on.
Really interesting discussion/solution of a topic I hadn't given enough thought to.
p.s. It might be worth adding:
to the start of "examples.m". It took me a while to figure out why no figures were visible.
Alternatively you could consider using:
set(fign,'OuterPosition',[0.25 0.25 0.5 0.5],'units','normalized');
indeed, perceptually better!
Added more examples in new file examples1.m Added one of the reference papers (link disrupted) Edited H1 line Added justification paragraph Modified REFERENCE AND acknowledgements in help Removed MAC_OS hidden files
Added more examples and demonstrations
flipped isoL colormap so red is on the high intensity side added one more example minor edits and typos corrected here and there
updated contact email
Added a 100% perceptual version of cube law rainbow and new examples and references.
Implemented Colin's first suggestion for examples.m
Added a linear lightness rainbow colormap Added a linear lightness adjusted heat colormap Added first line to examples.m as suggested by COlin in the comments
Added missing switch statements for 'linearl' and 'linlhot'. Added error check for minimum number of colors
On April 29th I loaded by mistake a previous release instead of the new one. This is the correct release.
Replaced INTERP1(...,'CUBIC') with INTERP1(...,'PCHIP') as suggested by Jakob Nikolas in the comments. Added a new isoluminant colormap for cyclical (azimuth or phase).
Corrected summary and added reference to a blog post by Steve Eddins for IsoAZ colormap
Added a new isoluminant colormap that wraps around the full hue range 0 - 2pi twice. Updated reference list with link to new blog post on IsoAZ and IsoAZ colormaps.
Uploaded new rainbow colormap with sawtooth shaped lightness profile. Included new example images and scripts, and deleted a few obsolete scripts. Updated reference links.
Replaced text labels in the screenshot

MFTRegister function
Adds information about a Media Foundation transform (MFT) to the registry.
Applications can enumerate the MFT by calling the MFTEnum or MFTEnumEx function.
HRESULT MFTRegister( _In_ CLSID clsidMFT, _In_ GUID guidCategory, _In_ LPWSTR pszName, _In_ UINT32 Flags, _In_ UINT32 cInputTypes, _In_ MFT_REGISTER_TYPE_INFO *pInputTypes, _In_ UINT32 cOutputTypes, _In_ MFT_REGISTER_TYPE_INFO *pOutputTypes, _In_ IMFAttributes *pAttributes );
- clsidMFT [in]
The CLSID of the MFT. The MFT must also be registered as a COM object using the same CLSID.
- guidCategory [in]
GUID that specifies the category of the MFT. For a list of MFT categories, see MFT_CATEGORY.
- pszName [in]
Wide-character string that contains the friendly name of the MFT.
- Flags [in]
Bitwise OR of zero or more of the following flags from the _MFT_ENUM_FLAG enumeration:
Value Meaning - MFT_ENUM_FLAG_ASYNCMFT
The MFT performs asynchronous processing in software. See Asynchronous MFTs. This flag does not apply to hardware transforms.
Requires Windows 7.
The application must unlock the MFT in order to use it. See IMFFieldOfUseMFTUnlock.
Requires Windows 7.
The MFT performs hardware-based data processing, using either the AVStream driver or a GPU-based proxy MFT. MFTs in this category always process data asynchronously. See Hardware MFTs.
Note This flag applies to video codecs and video processors that perform their work entirely in hardware. It does not apply to software decoders that use DirectX Video Acceleration to assist decoding.Requires Windows 7.
The MFT performs synchronous processing in software. This flag does not apply to hardware transforms.
The MFT is optimized for transcoding and should not be used for playback.
Requires Windows 7.
Setting Flags to zero is equivalent to setting the MFT_ENUM_FLAG_SYNCMFT flag. The default processing model for MFTs is synchronous processing.
Prior to Windows 7, the Flags parameter was reserved.
- cInputTypes [in]
Number of elements in the pInputTypes array.
- pInputTypes [in]
Pointer to an array of MFT_REGISTER_TYPE_INFO structures. Each member of the array specifies an input format that the MFT supports. This parameter can be NULL.
This parameter can be NULL. However, if the parameter is NULL, the MFT will be enumerated only when an application specifies NULL for the desired input type.
- cOutputTypes [in]
Number of elements in the pOutputTypes array.
- pOutputTypes [in]
Pointer to an array of MFT_REGISTER_TYPE_INFO structures. Each member of the array defines an output format that the MFT supports.
This parameter can be NULL. However, if the parameter is NULL, the MFT will be enumerated only when an application specifies NULL for the desired output type.
- pAttributes [in]
Pointer to the IMFAttributes interface of an attribute store that contains additional registry information. This parameter can be NULL. If the parameter is non-NULL, the attributes are written to the registery as a byte array. You can use the MFTGetInfo function to retrieve the attributes.
The following attribute is defined for this parameter:
Value Meaning Contains the merit value of a hardware codec. See Codec Merit.
Return value
If this function succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns an HRESULT error code.
The registry entries created by this function are read by the following functions:
Function | Description |
MFTEnum | Enumerates MFTs by media type and category. |
MFTEnumEx | Extended version of MFTEnum. |
MFTGetInfo | Looks up an MFT by CLSID and retrieves the registry information. |
This function does not register the CLSID of the MFT for the CoCreateInstance or CoGetClassObject functions.
To remove the entries from the registry, call MFTUnregister. If you remove an MFT from the system, you should always call MFTUnregister.
The formats given in the pInputTypes and pOutputTypes parameters are intended to help applications search for MFTs by format. Applications can use the MFTEnum or MFTEnumEx functions to enumerate MFTs that match a particular set of formats.
It is recommended to specify at least one input type in pInputTypes and one output type in the pOutputTypes parameter. Otherwise, the MFT might be skipped in the enumeration.
On 64-bit Windows, the 32-bit version of this function registers the MFT in the 32-bit node of the registry. For more information, see 32-bit and 64-bit Application Data in the Registry.

I'm impressed that you guys are offering to fix modems for $10 or less. Clearly not a industrial money making enterprise. That is very caring and generous.
What's the best way to get in contact with you to get a DCM475's firmware upgraded? I think I sent an email via your website, but I believe utoronto's aggressive mail filters ate it.
Hacked firmware
Out of curiosity what kind of symptoms might a firmware issue be? I'm new to the world of cable Internet and I've had nothing but problems since my service was first set up a week ago.In that week I've had two Rogers tech supports come out, I've been provided the number to the service company so that I don't need to go through TSI/Rogers, the cables from the taps have been completely re-ran to my apartment, no splitters and nothing else on the system and my modem was still just restarting constantly like my US was timing out. TSI is sending me a new modem though a friends modem worked at my place mine was iffy at his, first test it did not work and second test it did. When the modem gets hooked up if I have the .08 should I just hit up mlord as he's in Ottawa and have him flash it for me?
Now that you've seen the dcm476 in the inside, does it have the same sized heatsink as the 475? Anything remarkably different from the 475 that you can recall?

Creative Scotland launches 2014/5 YMI fund
1 May 2014
Creative Scotland has announced the launch of the 2014/5
Youth Music Initiative (YMI), supported by £10m from the Scottish government.
Now entering its twelfth year, YMI runs hundreds of projects
each year for young people of all ages, offering them opportunities to get
involved in various different genres of music. To date the Scottish government
has invested £97.5m in this hugely successful initiative.
£8m of this year's funding will go to Scottish local
authorities to run music-making activities in schools from August 2015. A
further £1.6m will be available to individuals through The Access To Music
Making Fund, which runs music projects outside schools. £200,000 will be put
towards training that will improve the youth music sector in Scotland. Details
of how to apply for this funding can be found here.
Janet Archer, CEO at Creative
Scotland, commented: 'The YMI will create new music-making opportunities
delivered by Scotland's diverse and talented music practitioners. Participants
will learn music making skills, build their confidence, be provided with
progression opportunities and hopefully have a lot of fun along the way. Our
continuing strong partnership with all thirty two of Scotland's local
authorities enables the YMI to have a truly national reach.'
To date, YMI has trained 1000
Bookbug Session Leaders who have delivered song, story and rhyme sessions to
more than 1.5m preschool children. YMI has provided one year of free
instrumental tuition to primary school children across Scotland, as well as
creating opportunities for children to create music with providers such as
Drake Music Scotland, Fèis Rois and the Scottish Brass Band Association.
400 young bands and musicians have also been granted access to professional
standard recording facilities at studios throughout the country.
Culture secretary Fiona Hyslop said:
'This is an innovative and popular programme which has made a real difference
to the lives of our young people. The Youth Music Initiative has created
career pathways for Scotland's young talent as well as giving many thousands of
young people across the country the opportunity to learn about and enjoy making
Julian Lloyd Webber retires from performance
29 April 2014
British cellist Julian Lloyd Webber has been forced to bring
an end to his performance career due to a herniated disc in his neck which has
reduced the power in his right arm.
Lloyd Webber's final performance as a cellist will take
place on 2 May at the Forum Theatre, Malvern with the English Chamber
In a statement to his agent, Lloyd Webber said:
'I am devastated. There were so
many exciting plans that cannot now come to fruition. I have had an immensely
fulfilling career and feel privileged to have worked with so many great
musicians and orchestras but now I have to move on.
I have no intention of enduring a
forced retirement though. I would like to use the knowledge I have gained
through my life as a musician and an educator to give back as much as I can to
the music profession which has given me so much over the years.
I have just completed two new
recordings which will be released later this year but after 2 May my cello
will fall silent. I now need time to reflect and to consider this sudden
and distressing life-changing situation and there will be no further comment at
this time.'
Lloyd Webber's determination to keep giving back to the
music community is a testament to his passion for music education. He was
recently awarded the ISM's 'Distinguished Musician Award' in recognition of his
contribution to this field.
More details of Julian Lloyd Webber's plans for the next
stage of his career will be discussed in the June edition of Music Teacher.
NCO turmoil: Statements from both sides
28 April 2014
Following our coverage of recent disputes regarding the management of the National Children's Orchestras of Great Britain (NCO) and the petition launched by the authors of the website www.ournco.org.uk, we have received statements from both ourNCO and the NCO board, as follows:
- A statement from OurNCO:
'The NCO is a wonderful and much-loved institution that has nurtured the musical talents of thousands of children and launched many professional careers. Integral to its success is the expertise and tireless support of staff, conductors, teachers, social staff, parents and numerous other givers of time and energy. These vital stakeholders are being entirely ignored as the NCO board attempts to drive through fundamental changes to NCO. At the heart of the problem is the fact that the current members of the board appoint themselves, make decisions among themselves, refuse to publish agendas or notes of their meetings, make decisions behind closed doors, are wholly unaccountable and will not consult. For any organisation, especially a children's music charity, this is quite wrong. For over two years a group of concerned stakeholders, including NCO parents and musicians, has been attempting quietly to persuade the board that it must change and become accountable. Every argument and suggestion has been dismissed out of hand. We had no choice but to go public to protect the future of an organisation we care so much about.
'That 1750-plus supporters have signed the petition so quickly shows how overwhelming is the support for constitutional change. However, the board has not made one statement in acknowledgement that there is a problem at all. It appears content to issue all kinds of material attempting to show it works well, or, quite outrageously, to claim that the successes delivered by NCO staff are down to its own efforts. The board has made a number of misleading claims in an attempt to discredit opposition to it, such that [NCO founder] Vivienne Price is attempting to wrest back control or that Roger Clarkson retains sole responsibility for musical matters. The record has been put straight on www.ournco.org.uk and Facebook. The board is using its energies to attack opposition to it rather than discuss rationally how change can be managed in the interests of all.
'There is no argument to be made against openness and accountability. The continuation of NCO's wonderful legacy for future children is too important to be put at risk at the hands of the self-appointed and self-interested. That is why we are calling for resignations and reform.'
- A Statement from the NCO board:
'Only five years ago, the NCO was in financial straits. The board at that time fought long and hard to recover the situation, as things just could not continue as they were. Their efforts gave the NCO enough money to continue on a day-to-day basis and to invest for our future. All through this difficult period the board worked to keep Vivienne's vision alive, because each and every one of them supports the NCO wholeheartedly. We were able to give more children the opportunity to transform their lives through music, and now we offer more bursaries than ever before. For this, all members of the board, even those who have joined recently, have been described as 'bean counters', as being 'secretive', and as 'lacking in understanding'. On the contrary, the current board, which counts among its number an alumna, music professionals and NCO parents, do this work voluntarily. They understand exactly how to protect Vivienne's vision and Vivienne and Roger's transformational teaching of children in our modern professional world.
'We have been accused of not listening. This is just not true. We have initiated a consultation programme with all interested groups, and have drawn up the NCO's first full business plan based on this feedback. The consultation programme involved the NCO staff in forming an initial business plan, and engagement with music tutors, parents and social staff has been feeding into the plan, something not done before in the NCO's history. We have been working on governance changes for some months, even before the launch of ourNCO.com. We are proud to have moved away from a model where trustees were only appointed if they had personal connections and could serve indefinitely, to one where trustees are recruited by open advertisement and for a restricted period, following Charity Commission guidelines. New relationships have been developed with organisations and new support found from funders, and we continue to be extremely grateful to everyone who has given in the past. All this is now at risk. We remain deeply sorry that Vivienne is so upset. If some things have not been done well, we are sorry – but we have made our very best efforts. As a board we remain confident that the decisions that have been made have been made with proper consultation and will ensure that the NCO, founded by Vivienne, will continue to go from strength to strength.'
Youth Music Invests in Education
25 April 2014
The National Foundation for Youth Music announced this week
that it will be awarding grants totalling £1.2m to ten pioneering music
education projects.
The funding will be invested in developing partnerships
between schools and music education providers who do not usually work in a
school environment. This 'Exchanging Notes' initiative will be monitored over a
four-year period by a team from Birmingham City University that will evaluate
the musical and educational outcomes of these new partnerships.
Projects benefitting from this funding include Opera North
working with Winifred Holtby Academy in Hull, Kinetika Bloco working with St
Gabriel's College in London, and Derbyshire Music Education Hub working across
the county's Virtual Schools Network. The young people involved are those
believed to be at risk of low attainment, disengagement or educational
exclusion. Through this initiative it is hoped that participants will be
empowered to develop their own creative life skills, using formal and informal
music-making to improve their general learning.
Youth Music's executive Matt Griffiths says: 'In designing
the Exchanging Notes programme, we encouraged schools, music organisations and
local music education hubs to work together. We look forward to the outcome of
this action research project with great excitement as it is the first time such
a rigorous study of combined approaches between schools and music providers,
who normally work in out-of-school settings, has been done. The results may well
turn out to be of enormous significance to stimulate fresh thinking in music
education and support the aspirations set out in the National Plan for Music
120th BBC Proms Unveiled
24 April 2014
Details of the 2014 BBC Proms were released this
afternoon, promising two months, 92 concerts, 12 world premieres and 10
newly-featured international ensembles amongst this year's exciting line-up of
To mark the centenary of the outbreak of World War One
the Proms will be reflecting on the music, musicians and musical legacy of the
Great War. Collaborating with the National Theatre for the first time, the War
Horse Prom (3 August) features life-size puppets from the west end production,
as well as the modern day premiere of Sir Henry Wood's recently-discovered New
War Hymn and a performance by Gareth Malone's Proms Military Wives Choir. The
War Horse Prom will also be forming the basis of this year's Proms Plus Family
Orchestra and Chorus, where families can play music alongside professional
The BBC Proms has expanded its
educational Proms Plus series for this summer, with more free workshops, talks
and events at the Royal College of Music that serve to complement the main BBC
Proms concerts. Proms Plus Intros, which give the audience an opportunity to
learn more about the evening's repertoire, will be focusing on global classical
music. These sessions include a spotlight on Turkey (29 July), the Czech
Republic (24 August), Hungary (25 August), South Korea (27 August) and Singapore
(2 September).
For the first time, both Bach's St
John and St Matthew Passions will be performed at the Proms. Singers of all
levels of experience (including none!) will be able to join members of the BBC
Singers in workshops before hearing these works performed at the Proms.
The 80th birthdays of
two of Britain's most important living composers, Sir Harrison Birtwistle and
Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, will be celebrated alongside significant birthdays of
some of the country's leading conductors. The Proms Plus Composer Portrait will
allow audiences to get to know more about some of the living composers whose
works are being performed, through in-depth interviews with Birtwistle, Maxwell
Davies, David Horne and Sally Beamish.

Senior Project Architects who are practiced in their profession and carry more than 10 years of experience make up nearly 100 percent of Senior Project Architects. Pay fluctuates from $63K to $121K per year, but expected earnings average $83K per year. Incomes of Senior Project Architects vary widely depending on performance components; bonuses and profit sharing that can occasionally exceed $10K cause paychecks to spread between $63K on the low end and $121K on the high end. Geographic location and career length each impact pay for this group, with the former having the largest influence. Medical benefits are awarded to a large number, and a majority earn dental coverage. Work is enjoyable for Senior Project Architects, who typically claim high levels of job satisfaction. Participants in PayScale's salary questionnaire provided the particulars of this report.
Senior project architects are responsible for overseeing design development, production of working drawings and construction documents on assigned architecture projects. They coordinate and lead teams through the design, development and contract phases of construction projects and monitor the progress of the project in accordance with contract scope and deliverables. Senior project architects manage the delivery of the project and work closely with clients. They also establish and maintain project budgets and schedules, and they monitor adherence to the terms of expectations per the client contract.
Read More...Survey results suggest that Senior Project Architects use a fairly large toolkit of professional skills. Most notably, skills in AutoCAD Revit Architecture Suite, Technical Specification, Autodesk Revit Architecture, and Design are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that seem to negatively impact pay include AutoCAD, Computer Aided Drafting & Design, and AutoCAD Architecture. Those proficient in Design are, more often than not, also skilled in Autodesk Revit Architecture and AutoCAD.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience does not seem to be a strong driver of pay increase in this role. At career start (within the first five years), average income sits near $73K, and the average for folks who have worked for five to 10 years is only slightly higher at $73K. For Senior Project Architects, 10 to 20 years of experience on the job amounts to an average salary of $83K. Ultimately, more time spent in the workforce does seem to translate to bigger paychecks; seasoned veterans with more than 20 years of experience report a median income of $91K.
With a pay rate for Senior Project Architects that is 19 percent greater than the national average, San Francisco offers a comfortable salary for those in this profession. Senior Project Architects will also find cushy salaries in Los Angeles (+13 percent), Dallas (+11 percent), Boston (+10 percent), and New York (+9 percent). Austin is home to the smallest salaries in the field, lagging the national average by 12 percent. Workers in Seattle and Las Vegas earn salaries that trail the national average for those in this profession (8 percent less).

Bobby hoping for win against Wolves
Roberto Martinez is hoping the Latics can get three points against Wolves in the early kick off on Saturday. Both clubs are presently sat at the wrong end of the table after just a handful of games in the opening to the Premier League season. Despite this, Latics boss Roberto Martinez is pleased with what he has seen from his side so far this season, and he is hoping to push on and get a result against Mick McCarthy's men. Speaking to the club's official website, Martinez praised his team's attitude and desire so far this season. He said: "We have showed really good signs at home so far this season."Even against Manchester City, we showed those signs, and it was a self-inflicted result after the two soft goals. If we can eradicate those areas, then the performance that we've all been looking for is just around the corner. "We are developing a belief in our own ability. There are moments in the game that you really need to work as a group, and really suffer, and we've done that. That develops the confidence and belief that we can compete against anyone, and that's probably the biggest part of trying to get rid of that inconsistency that we showed last campaign."This is a new squad, but a squad that is starting to play with real togetherness and a real desire to win football games on a consistent basis."We are looking forward to having a home game and a game that we feel that we can really impose ourselves on, and try to please the fans." The Latics boss was also full of respect for the work that Mick McCarthy has done at Wolverhampton Wanderers and he knows it will be a difficult game. "I've been very impressed with Wolverhampton Wanderers this season, and the results don't reflect the work that they've done," added Martinez."Obviously last campaign was a very good one for them - they achieved the aims of the season, and they managed to keep all the good performers. They also signed a couple of players who brought something different to the team, and against Spurs and Fulham, they were very unfortunate to lose a few goals late on in the game, and that was then reflected in the score line."They've got a tremendous team ethic, they work really hard, and then they've got real talent up front, and they can be very energetic and do the transition between defending and attacking very quickly and hurt you."For us, it's now just making sure that we can help ourselves, control the game, and give the level of performance that we know we are capable of."

Hactivists had a serious impact on data breaches in 2011, according to the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report. Hacktivists are motivated for political or personal reasons and attempt to hack a target to shame or embarrass the organization. Denial-of-Service attacks are a common weapon used by hacktivists to cripple or take down a website and sometimes find coding errors in the targeted organization's website in an attempt to take it down and deface it. Members of the Anonymous collective were responsible for a spate of attacks that resulted in stolen data. LulzSec, a loosely connected Anonymous hacking group, was responsible for hacking into Sony Pictures in 2011, stealing user account data and forcing Sony to halt its gaming platform. The group also gained access to HBGary Federal, stealing research and email information and posting the information to the Pirate Bay file-sharing service.

The Ultimate DooMer said: Creating water splashes at the bottom of falls, creating water bubbles from an underwater grille, creating water leaks in a pipe, creating small fountains...ok not many uses but there are some. And they can add a nice touch for those purposes. I'd recommend that they be allowed, but the maps be scrutinised for improper usage of them.

Living Nativities to be presented throughout Wichita area
There's something about the movement, the warmth, the sounds, the very heartbeat of human beings and animals in living Nativities that make them so haunting and poignant at Christmastime.
When the carols we've been singing and the Scripture verses we've been hearing suddenly take on flesh – well, that brings us to the whole point of Christmas, doesn't it?
Here are a few opportunities to take in living Nativities in the Wichita area in the coming days. Be sure to dress warmly.
• East Heights United Methodist Church, Sunday evening. Part of the annual College Hill trolley tour that sets out from the church at 4407 E. Douglas, anyone can attend the living Nativity that is staged outside the north entrance at 6, 6:30, 7 and 7:30 p.m. Sunday. Middle- and high-schoolers stage the Nativity, along with animals, and singing from the youth choir.
Indoors, there is a coffee bar and an exhibit of handmade toys that will be given to needy children. (If any tickets remain Sunday for the trolley tour, they will be on sale at the church from 9 a.m. to noon, and then again at 5 p.m.)
• A Night in Bethlehem, 6 to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday, First Christian Church, 1600 State St., Augusta.This is the fifth year for First Christian Church in Augusta to put on an event that tries to re-create the streets of Bethlehem, with various shops, displays, a food court and re-enactments under a heated tent. There is then a tour of the live Nativity, which will be outdoors unless the weather is bitterly cold. About 150 people come through each of the two nights, said church administrator Anna Wallace.
"We change things up every year," Wallace said. "It's grown."
Children can pet the animals and play games, and there are crafted items and food samples for purchase for small change. (Everyone receives a bag of denari to spend, and more is available for purchase.) People then can go into the church for soup and cookies, included in the admission of $1 or a non-perishable food item. Information, 316-775-6317.
• Madison Avenue United Methodist Church in Derby, 6:30 to 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 900 E. Madison. The church will have an outdoor depiction of the Nativity. You can simply drive through, or get out of the car to pet the animals and interact with the characters. Admission is free.• Fulton Valley Farms' Country Christmas, 7, 8 and 9 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays through Dec. 29, 5079 SW Fulton Road in Towanda.
Fulton Valley Farms is a venue for weddings and other events, and this year, home to a Christmas event as well. The Country Christmas consists of 45 minutes of light shows and the living Nativity every hour. The light shows start at 6 p.m. Country singer Rusty Rierson narrates and sings during the Nativity presentation, either live or by recording, each night.
"In my heart, there's somebody who needs to see this live Nativity," owner Betty Corbin said. "And I knew the only way to get the people out was to do the light shows."
Tickets are $12 for adults; $10 for military, students and seniors; $8 for ages 4 to 12; free for children 3 and under. A family four-pack is available for $36, and a six-pack for $58. For more information, see the website fvfcountrychristmas.com or call 316-775-1894.

Sky Ferreira @ Public Assembly (by Amanda)
Pop ingenue Sky Ferreira played a handful of shows during CMJ week, including a sold out show at Union Hall and the BrooklynVegan day party on Friday (10/19) at Public Assembly where she impressed the still bleary-eyed with her pop smarts, vocal chops and undeniable charisma. Our party did not, however, get the cool lasers she had at her Bowery Ballroom show the night before, but there's video of it below, along with more pictures from our day party (which was sponsored by Pabst Blue Ribbon, Sailor Jerry, Mercy, and Raw Revolution).
If you missed Sky at CMJ, she'll be playing a few East Coast shows next month including two in NYC: Glasslands on Nombember 28 and Mercury Lounge the next day (11/29). Tickets to Mercury Lounge go on AmEx presale today (10/24) at noon with a general on-sale Friday (10/26) at noon. Tickets to the Glasslands show go on sale Friday at noon.

12 CFR 1402.22 - Fees to be charged.
Generally, the fees charged for requests for records shall cover the full allowable direct costs of searching for, reproducing, and reviewing documents that are responsive to a request for information.
Manual searches for records will be charged at the salary rate(s) (i.e., basic pay plus 16 percent of that rate) of the employee(s) making the search.
Computer searches for records will be charged at the actual direct cost of providing the service. This will include the cost of operating the central processing unit for that portion of operating time that is directly attributable to searching for records and the operator/programmer salary apportionable to the search. A charge shall also be made for any substantial amounts of special supplies or materials used to contain, present, or make available the output of computers, based upon the prevailing levels of costs to the Farm Credit System Insurance Corporation for the type and amount of such supplies of materials that are used. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to entitle any person or entity, as a right, to any services in connection with computerized records, other than services to which such person or entity may be entitled under the provisions of this subpart.
Only requesters who are seeking documents for commercial use may be charged for time spent reviewing records to determine whether they are exempt from mandatory disclosure. Charges may be assessed only for the initial review; i.e., the review undertaken the first time the Farm Credit System Insurance Corporation analyzes the applicability of a specific exemption to a particular record or portion of a record. Records or portions of records withheld in full under an exemption that is subsequently determined not to apply may be reviewed again to determine the applicability of other exemptions not previously considered. The costs for such a subsequent review is assessable.
Records will be reproduced at a rate of $.15 per page. For copies prepared by computer, such as tapes or printouts, the requester shall be charged the actual cost, including operator time, of production of the tape or printout. For other methods of reproduction, the actual direct costs of producing the document(s) shall be charged.
The Farm Credit System Insurance Corporation will recover the full costs of providing services such as those enumerated below when it elects to provide them:

Far West is a small Division, but is supporting a growing number of Clubs interested in promoting cross country skiing. There are also a number of competitive middle school, high school, and masters teams racing in the Far West Nordic region.
Let us know about your team or club. Email email@example.com
A Club can be anything from a group of enthusiasts who declare themselves a Club to a long established Nonprofit Organization such as Auburn Ski Club
Clubs and Teams in The Far West include:
- Auburn Ski Club: A USSA affiliated Club with its own Training Center on Donner Summit. Offers year round Teams, programs and competitions as well as winter recreational ski facilities and clinics.
- Eastern Sierra Nordic Ski Association/Mammoth Ski Team: Based in Mammoth – provides year round training for junior athletes.
- The Tahoe Cross Country Ski Education Association (TXC) – Established to promote and develop the sport of cross country skiing through educational activities. Owns & runs Tahoe XC ski area.
- Sugar Bowl Academy is a private school on Donner Summit which includes its own Nordic Team as part of its curriculum. So it is both a Team and a USSA-sanctioned Club, with an extremely high level of committed athletes.
- Unleashed Coaching is a small club team based in North Lake Tahoe, run by former University of Reno Head Coach August Teague. It's mission is to promote and grow the individual athlete in a fun team environment.
- Other teams in the region include the CNISSF-league schools, such as Truckee High School, North Tahoe High School and Middle School, Alder Creek Middle School, Mammoth High and Middle Schools, South Lake Tahoe schools, Incline High School, and Colfax and Nevada Union High Schools, among others.
A USSA Club is affiliated with the US Ski Team promoting high level racing at local, National and International levels. USSA sanctioned clubs in Far West include Auburn Ski Club, Sugar Bowl Academy, Mammoth Skiing (part of ESNSA), and Unleashed Coaching.
A couple of things to consider when starting a club.
- Insurance is your biggest hurdle to starting a club. And it can be expensive. Maybe one of your 'members' has connections regarding pricing and researching this.
- Ski area connections: where will you ski and how much will it cost and how many people will you have?
- What kind of coaching licenses do your people have? Are they personal coaches? PSIA (Professional Ski Instructors of America?) USSA (US Ski Assoc?) etc.
Far West Nordic is not a ski club. It is a division of USSA. It encompasses California, Nevada, Arizona, and Hawaii. Currently, only California has a thriving xc ski community. There are 10 divisions in the US that together, through coaches and activities, make up the whole of US Skiing. Within Far West there are currently only a couple of ski clubs.
One of those, Auburn Ski Club (ASC), on Donner Summit, is the 2nd oldest ski club in the US and an affiliate of Far West. It has numerous xc skiing programs and membership incentives. Perhaps your group would all like to join ASC for this season and check out what a top rated ski club is all about before you proceed. Rates are super reasonable and include a season trail pass to the ASC nordic trails. Go to www.auburnskiclub.org for more info.
Far West Nordic is dedicated to promoting xc skiing and racing in the division. They offer many camps and trips for Junior (age13-19), Senior( age 20-29), and Master (age 30 yrs+) skiers. They promote xc racing within the division and even host numerous xc ski races as fundraisers for the programs they support. Your 'members' may wish to race in such events as the Tahoe Rim Tour, the Great Ski Race, the California Gold Rush, etc.
Far West also offers many one day xc ski clinics throughout the year that you all may wish to partake in. These are taught by some of the best coaches in the country and Far West (FW) works hard to address many different interests and abilities in these clinics. You need to be a member of FW to take these clinics.
Many of Far West and Auburn Ski Club coaches are PSIA Instructors as well as coaches. This is a great organization that is also dedicated to promoting xc skiing through instruction and clinics. Early every winter (first of second week of December) they have a symposium 'locally' in the Sierras that encourages new participants to come and take classes/clinics for personal development and/or ski club/resort type benefits. Check out www.psia-w.org for info.
Both PSIA and USSA offer insurance for members of their respective programs. They do not offer group insurance.
Neither Far West nor Auburn Ski Club have "chapters" but they will support and encourage new clubs and have even offered "umbrella programs" to help folks get started.

Soul Captor's innovative gameplay systems revealed
Gamania Digital Entertainment
28 Jun 2012
Gamania Digital Entertainment revealed some of the exciting and innovating gameplay features of their upcoming free-to-play MMORPG, Soul Captor, which begins Closed Beta in a weeks time on July 3rd. Two systems take center stage in the game, namely the Anima and Soul System.
The Anima and Soul Systems
In Soul Captor you are accompanied by an "Anima", your very own customizable spirit creature. This guardian angel is there for you every step of the way, and both its appearance and stats can be tailored to suit your needs. Although small (and very cute!), Animas can become incredibly powerful as you level up their skills. These include Offensive, Defensive and Supportive modes that can be selected on the fly to suit your combat situation and playing style.
Your Anima can also be set up to take care of micromanagement issues such as reminding you which dungeon instances you have completed today or what events are upcoming. Furthermore, you will never have to worry about topping up your health and mana in battle again as if they drop below a pre-set level your Anima can automatically administer the potions of your choice. As long as you have enough potions in your inventory, you will never have to worry about last second potion popping again!
Start your soul collection!
The Anima is the key to collecting Soul Spirit from defeated foes, which in turn are added to your "Soulpedia". This amazing book wielded by your Anima captures and contains the souls of your defeated foes. The objective is of course to find and collect them all. Soul Spirit can be used to create powerful buffs and enchantments to strengthen both you and your Anima. Collected monster souls in your Soulpedia unlock achievement bonuses and some can even be summoned as mounts for you or your Anima. Just wait until you see some of the boss monster mounts!
Niall Callaghan, Product Manager at Gamania said: The Animas personalities really help to bring Soul Captor alive and theres a wonderful series of unlockable emotes that increase your Animas Soul Power used to capture monsters souls! I cant wait to see how players interact with them and start to form bonds with these lifelong companions. Im also really looking forward to see how players will use their Anima in game and what gameplay strategies will be used in combination with the players chosen classes.
I think the Soul System will appeal to completionists and achievement hunters alike, and it really contributes to the depth of Soul Captor as well as powering up your Anima to help players progress through the game.
Weve been working hard at polishing Soul Captor for our Global English release, and are ready to welcome the players into Closed Beta testing on July 3rd!
Soul Captor is scheduled for full release this summer on Gamanias beanfun! platform. Players who want to participate in the forthcoming closed beta test can do so by visiting the Soul Captor teaser website www.soulcaptoronline.com.

The World of Soul Captor
In the beginning of time, the God of Creation looked out into the chaotic realm and used his divine power to inhabit a continent with the most beautiful flora and fauna the universe had ever seen. He created the humans in his own image to populate this world and named the continent the Mortal Realm. Another continent teeming with life started to imitate the Mortal Realm. Strange creatures possessing abilities different to that of the humans appeared and slowly became known as the Asura. Thus, the God of Creation named this continent Dark Realm.
Cities were built above these realms where the gods; assigned by the God of Creation, could oversee their inhabitants. With the two worlds in harmony, the God of Creation left. However, his departure created a disturbance and the beasts from the Dark Realm started invading the Mortal Realm. As the force controlling the worlds started to dissolve, a mysterious darkness emerged. You enter this story as a divine oracle and begin your adventure by descending to the Mortal Realm in order to bring peace to the world.
About Soul Captor
Soul Captor features a rich story line with in-game cut scenes and is presented in a unique, beautiful graphical style. One of the games core gameplay mechanics is a Soul System that allows players to capture fallen enemies in the Soulpedia and can use them as mounts. The Anima companion system gives players a little helper that offers on-the-fly defensive, offensive or healing capabilities. The game offers both PvE and PvP gameplay modes and uses a comprehensive achievement system to please competative players. A special Friends System allows players to advance bonds with others and gain buffs and bonusses. With six classes to choose from, players can complement each other with their respective unique powers.

How to Go Through a Blood Brother Ritual Southwest United States Style
As a Southwest native, this ritual is respected and ancient.Blood brothers can be friends, family or loved ones. A Blood Brother ritual has nothing to do with the occult, Satanism or anything along that line. It is a bonding of spirits and wills for the lifetime of the individuals. Only trusted friends or relatives can be blood brothers,gender is not a factor.

1Do it voluntarily. When you share blood, you share diseases, as well. This is the equivalent of sharing a needle, and after doing this you should never donate blood. There are risks involved, and the participants must volunteer, in no manner is this ever to be a forced ceremony. Many of the diseases that can be transmitted through blood contact (HIV, AIDS, hepatitis, etc.) can be fatal, and most of the people carrying them do not even know that they have them. If you feel uncomfortable, decline the ceremony; if they are true friends, they won't hold it against you.
2Under the full moon in a natural setting, make sure you have a good sharp knife. A bonfire is good also.
3While the group of friends is in a circle, hold out your arms, palms up, and allow another person in the party to make the cut.
- Note:Stay away from veins. The intent is to draw blood, not to maim or injure the individual.
4Once the parties are cut and bleeding, press the two sites together and look into the eyes of the other party while reciting words of lifelong loyalty and friendship.
